Setting the Profile Data Sets
To access the Profile Data Sets panel, select option 5 (DATA SETS) from the Profile panel. The Profile Data Sets panel, shown below, appears.

The following table description the fields on the Profile Data Sets panel.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| WIS dsname | The Work In Suspense data set name is the holding place for suspended efforts. If you are using the Member Reconciliation tool to reconcile the versions of only one program, the WIS file has to be a SEQuential data set. The consolidation of multiple libraries needs a PDS as Work In Suspense so that you can save and resume the work on any set of member versions as desired. M+R auto-allocates a SEQuential WIS file for a new M+R user for use in the Member Reconciliation tool. If you enter a DSNAME for a file that is not cataloged, M+R autoallocates it, as follows: ● As SEQ if you are using the Member Reconciliation tool. ● As PDS otherwise. |
| Print dsname | The name of the file where you want to route print requests. For the Member Reconciliation tool, the actual report format is option dependent; for example, the WIS format differs from the format of the exported file. After selecting a printing option (5P, 6P, 7P), you can browse and/or route the file to a local printer as desired. If you issue a Print line command on the Consolidation Workplace panel, the last view of the selected member (merged versions) will be printed. M+R auto-allocates a Print file for a new M+R user. If you enter a DSNAME for a file that is not cataloged, M+R autoallocates it as a SEQuential data set. |
| Export dsname | Enter the target data set name for the consolidation effort. It can be a SEQuential file or PDS, PANvalet, or LIBrarian library. Although no restrictions on DCB characteristics exist for PDS and SEQ, the characteristics should be similar to those of the Base version. If you intend to export to a ChangeMan ZMF package, use a PDS or SEQ data set for an export file. M+R auto-allocates a PDS Export file for a new M+R user. If you enter a DSNAME for a file that is not cataloged, M+R autoallocates it as a PDS or SEQuential data set depending on the field Export DSORG, but the default is PDS (see below). For PAN and LIB libraries, the Export DSORG must reflect that organization. |
| Export DSORG | Enter the data set organization for the Export DSNAME (see the previous entry). For PDS or SEQ, entry is required only if the Export file is not already cataloged, or you want the new file to be SEQ. If entered for an existing data set, it must accurately reflect the organization - PDS or SEQ. You should use this type of data set if you plan to export to a ChangeMan ZMF package; that is, to Staging libraries. For PAN or LIB, an accurate entry is always required; otherwise, the output file cannot be opened. |
| Export member mask | Identifies a member name mask that will be applied to the name of each exported member. |
| LIB module name | Enter a program name, up to eight characters in length, for the module that updates a LIBrarian master file (only applies to LIB shops that plan to export consolidated versions to a LIBrarian master file). Common names are LIBR and LIBRARY. |
Note
The Source/Copy Libraries Synchronization tool allows a second Export library to be defined on the Profile Data Sets panel for export of the consolidated copybooks.
The following two fields are added in this panel:
Copybook Export DSN ===> USER83.CDF.USER83.EXPCPY____________________
Copybook Export DSORG ===> PDS_____ (PDS, SEQ, PAN, LIB, or blank)
Note
The equivalent JCL Comparison tool does not include an export feature; thus, its Profile Data Sets panel does not contain any export-related fields.
